Amen, Goodnews. That's really an awesome "fruit" of using this website -- verses come more quickly and accurately to mind when in fellowship with other believers ... and then hopefully, by the Spirit of God, becoming a blessing to that other person
To answer your question TheMoviegoer, my wife and I read the Bible to each other each morning, usually about fifteen verses at a time. She's graciously agreed that we read aloud verses which I'm working on here at LS dot net. As for recitation, I have it in mind to begin doing that once I've gotten my queue to be more manageable ... if I can discipline myself to not add too many new verses, then sometime soon I'll have more time and would like to begin some true recitation. Thanks for reminding me (us) of that, TheMoviegoer!
Nice! I'd love to add Genesis 1 to my learning list ... no time for it at the moment :) Perhaps when I'm 95 I'll add it LOL. But it's all good, I'm greatly blessed by the verses which I do have time to work on.
Yes, I like these comments. And again, she experienced the miraculous, but immediately afterward addressed herself to the practical need of the moment.
The practicality of what He said ... "Give her something to eat" ... as set against the shock and amazement and disbelief of all the others ... really intrigues me. He did (does) amazing, incredible things, but simultaneously never loses sight of the practical.
I forgot how it begins, the man in chains possessed of great strength, cutting himself, living in tombs, crying and screaming at night .... and Jesus puts him into his right mind. Truly, a great action film.
Mark 5 ought to be made into a film -- lots of action happening in a short time, seems to me :) crowds pressing in on Jesus, demons being cast out, swine rampaging over a cliff and crashing into the sea, one solitary woman singled out with a dramatic healing, and the coup de grace, the finale, a twelve year old girl raised from the dead! and Jesus giving the very practical instructions to the parents, "Hey, she's hungry, feed her ok?"
Thanks Goodnews. I've created a lot of passage sets in my time here, trying to find the best method for memorisation ... sometimes I've gone with shorter passages, sometimes longer. I definitely remember my verses better when I'm in the flow of the whole passage.

Yes, thank you for all that you share. I have also used some of your sets - and appreciate _so much_ your suggestion about using individual verse sets of 4 verses to practice those thorny passages that just don't seem to stick. :)
To Wv, I agree with you, that each verses holds a meaning for each new day. It's a timeless book. To janet23, this is my favorite "at the moment": Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions. (NASB)
each time I see a new chapter of Proverbs on my news feed, it makes me feel glad to see that you are continuing with that project :) of going through the entirety of Proverbs
